I went to college with an old coal miner who was going to my school for free on a re-education bill after the coal mine he worked at was shut down. I think you just only hear about the creepy “re-education” in the media.
That's occupational re-education. That is a similar term but not what we're talking about here. The re-education in question is when colonizers invade a land, kill off natives, steal their children, and send those children to the invader's schools to be force-fit into their culture.
